Ekiti provides land for takeoff of Industrial Court

Ekiti State Government will within the next three months provide a land that will serve as a permanent site for the National Industrial Court of Nigeria.
In the interim, it has provided a temporary place for the take off of the court as well as the accommodation for the judge that will preside over the court in the state.
The State Governor, Mr Ayo Fayose, gave the assurance in Ado-Ekiti when the President of the court, Justice Babatunde Adejumo, paid him a visit at the Governor’s Office.
In a statement by the governor’s Chief Press Secretary, Idowu Adelusi, the governor said his administration would do everything possible to assist the court to function well in the state.
“When I got the wind of your court coming to Ekiti, I did not waste time to take advantage of the visit. Everybody can manage infrastructural development, but not all can manage human resources. We are saving a lot of resources by bringing the court here.
“I live within the ambit of the law, so that I don’t have to want to manipulate judgment.
We will look for land for a permanent site for your court within three months and we have shown you the accommodation for the judge that will be here,” he said.
Justice Adejumo, in his remarks, expressed satisfaction with the temporary site provided for the court and the judge’s residence.
He added that the court would take off within the next few weeks.
“Lawyers and litigants having matters relating with us have been going to Akure but that is not tidy and safe enough. Thank you for the quick approval of our requests. We will be asking for a land for us to build our court complex
Within the next two months will start operating. We will do justice to all manners of people. We are to ensure industrial harmony in the country,” he said.
The Commissioner for Justice, Mr Owoseni Ajayi, said the court already had divisions in 26 states of the federation.
Owoseni said a permanent site for the court would be sought in the Government Reserved Area of Ado-Ekiti.‎
